I have a 2 year old cat that started vomiting 2-3 times a week. Took him to the vet and he was treated for “something irritating his tummy” with antinausea medication and gentle prescription food for a week. It temporarily improved but then came back and persisted. The second vet visit a food allergy trial was suggested. I am nearing its completion and while eating only Hills z/d dry food, the vomiting has completely resolved.
I know one of my options is just to continue using it, but it’s expensive, smells bad and I can tell kitty doesn’t love it. I’m confused what people do to try to diagnose the allergen in these situations? I would love to know it’s just ”this” so I can buy anything as long as it doesn’t have “this” so that there are more options about what I can feed him moving forward, but the ingredient lists on some of these food is really long. Any advice from someone who has experience with this?
